A Sorcerer in the Detective World

Early five o'clock in the afternoon, Aoi House Hotel.

With a soft "crunch", Conan and Xiaolan opened the door of the guest room, took a change of clothes and walked out. After looking back and forth twice, Xiaolan asked: "Conan, do you know where the bath is? ?”

"Uh... I don't know!" Conan replied with a smile. After Xiaolan said "ah", she frowned and said, "You don't know either! Then we can only go to the front desk and ask first."

Xiaolan said, dragging Conan to the front desk, and saw Eiji Kamikawa and several waiters standing at the counter, talking in a low voice, seeming to be discussing something.

After seeing Conan and Xiaolan, Kamikawa Eiji and the others stopped. Then Kamagawa Eiji put on a smile, looked at Conan and Xiaoran with a smile and said, "Ah? It's Miss Echigo, What's the matter with you?"

Miss Echigo? What the hell is this?

Conan was stunned for a moment, thinking of Uncle Mori's pseudonym "Echigo Hikarumon", and the corner of his mouth twitched. Xiaolan laughed and said, "We want to take a bath, but we don't know the location of the bath... …”

"As for the bathhouse, you can see it by turning right in the corridor and walking into the courtyard." Eiji Kamikawa replied, "Do you need us to take you there?"

"No need, we can just go there by ourselves."

Xiaolan smiled slightly, bowed to thank you, and took Conan's hand to walk away. Conan stopped and asked curiously: "Mr. Puchuan, were you discussing the case of dead human flesh just now? ? I just vaguely heard you talking about 'sacrifice', 'corpse', 'discovery' and so on..."

"...Could the police have found the body where the former Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fell?"

After Conan finished speaking, Kamikawa Eiji was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "Hahaha, we are indeed discussing this case, but the police did not find the body. I heard from the policeman who just came to investigate the case that the dead human flesh, It seems to be a sacrifice offered by the believers of the Lord God. The source of the dead human flesh is the corpses of those who committed suicide in the forest. Now, the police suspect that it may be done by hunters who often enter the mountains. An investigation is being conducted in the village, and the results will surely come out soon..."

After Kamagawa Eiji finished speaking, before Conan could speak, Xiaolan already said "ah" and said with a look of horror: "You said the dead human flesh was cut from the bodies of those who committed suicide? Oh my God! This is really, really terrifying. "Conan, don't ask anymore, let's go take a bath quickly..."

Xiaolan was so scared that she dragged Conan to the bathhouse regardless of the situation.

Not long after, the two people walked into the bathhouse, but saw a "Cleaning Up" sign in front of the women's bathhouse. Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Really, why is it being cleaned up now? What a coincidence..."

"Yes! What a coincidence!" Conan hugged the change of clothes in his arms, his expression even more disappointed than Xiaolan——

In other words, he had been struggling for so long that he even had the consciousness of being beaten to death, but in the end he encountered a female bath cleaner...

Are you kidding me?

Conan was depressed, so Xiaolan held Conan's hand and smiled slightly: "Let's go, Conan, let's go back to the room first, and then take a bath after dinner!"

"Uh...Okay!" Upon hearing this, Conan was instantly full of energy——

Um! Xiaolan is right, if we come back tonight, we still have a chance! And there are definitely more big sisters taking a bath in the evening than in the afternoon...

Conan was thinking wildly in his mind, turned to look at the "Cleaning in progress" sign, and asked curiously: "By the way, Sister Xiaolan. Since the women's bathhouse is being cleaned, why didn't the front desk staff tell us?"

"Hmm... I don't know." Xiaolan thought for a moment, tilted her head and looked at Conan, smiling, "Maybe it's because of some unexpected incident?"

"Yeah, that's true."

Conan and Xiaolan chatted and returned to the guest room together. Uncle Maori woke up and sat crookedly in front of the table.

I saw Conan and Xiaolan,

Uncle Maori, who was still dazed, asked: "Xiaolan, Conan, what are you two doing?"

"We went to take a bath, but the bathtub is being cleaned!" Xiaolan answered briefly, then walked to the table to help Uncle Maori pour water, and complained at the same time: "Dad, you have to be more restrained in the future, and you can't drink anymore. So much wine!”

Uncle Maoli nodded "Yeah," and after chatting casually for a few words, he asked again: "By the way, Xiaolan, has the guy pretending to be me started to reason?"

"Well, it seems not yet!" Xiaolan replied softly.

Uncle Maoli raised his hand and looked at his watch, then scratched his head and said, "Really, why is that impostor so dawdling? Forget it, no wait! Xiaolan, Conan, let's go find that impostor together and expose him. His true face, try to resolve this matter before dinner——"

"——I made an appointment with Officer Yamamura to have two drinks tonight!"

When Uncle Maori finished speaking, Conan and Xiaolan both said "ha"——

Please, you can't even stand still and you're still drinking!

Conan and Xiaolan were speechless, but they still accompanied Uncle Maori to the fake Maori's room.

In front of the door of No. 209, Uncle Maori knocked on the door "DuangDuang", then stretched out his hand and said loudly: "That guy who is pretending to be my famous detective Maori Kogoro, stop hiding, come out and see me quickly! Actually! If you dare to pretend to be me, I won’t give you anything..."

As Uncle Maoli spoke, he looked into the back of the room. When he saw a figure hanging in the air and swinging back and forth, his face changed drastically and he woke up from the wine.

At the same time, Conan and Xiaolan also walked behind Uncle Maori and saw the figure swinging back and forth. A few seconds later, a loud scream echoed through the hotel...

…

At about 5:30 in the afternoon, next to the statue of the head god.

Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Sumi stood together, looking at the uniformed policeman in front of them, and asked in surprise: "What did you say? Have you investigated all the hunters who often enter the mountains? Are there no suspects?"

"No, that's right." The uniformed policeman nodded, "We asked colleagues from nearby villages to assist in the investigation. According to them, today happens to be a gathering day for nearby hunters, and almost all the hunters who often go into the mountains are here. So the investigation was done very quickly. According to the investigation, they had been eating and drinking together from 11 o'clock to now. Even if someone occasionally left in the middle, they only left for ten minutes, which did not allow them to commit crimes..."

"Really?" Shu Yunwen nodded and asked thoughtfully, "Then have you ever asked if anyone they know believes in the head god?"

"There shouldn't be this. I heard them say that the head god is an evil god. Some people believed in it in ancient times. There were also believers who liked to eat dead human flesh. Such people have long disappeared now." The uniformed man answered, and then stretched out his hand again. forehead said, "By the way, an old hunter said that the worship cycle of the head god is very short, it seems to only be five days!"

"It is said that believers in ancient times even deliberately killed people for sacrifices!"
